- Purpose of SharePoint Hub Sites:
- Hub sites act as central hubs that tie together multiple associated sites. They make it easier to:
- Discover related content, including news and other site activities.
- Apply consistent navigation, branding, and site structure across all associated sites.
- Implement search capabilities that span the entire hub and its associated sites.
- Creating a SharePoint Hub Site:
- SharePoint administrators can create hub sites. When they convert an existing SharePoint site into a hub site, it becomes the focal point for associated sites.
- The hub site navigation bar appears at the top of the site, but the home page and all site contents remain the same.
- Key Features of a SharePoint Hub Site:
- Shared Hub Navigation:
- The hub site navigation bar appears at the top of the hub site and all associated sites.
- Hub site owners can customize this navigation bar and choose to use the mega menu layout.
- Search Across the Hub:
- When you search from a hub site, content from both the hub site itself and any associated sites is returned in the search results.
- Viewers see only the content they have access to.
- Recommended Web Parts:
- To enhance the hub site experience, site owners can add the following web parts to the home page:
- News Roll-Up:
- Automatically aggregates news published on the hub site and its associated sites.
- Viewers see news only for sites they have access to.
- Clicking a news article link takes you to the site where the article was published.
- Associated Sites:
- Displays the most active sites associated with the hub site on the home page.
- Highlighted Content:
- Dynamically displays content from sites associated with the hub site.
- Events:
- Dynamically displays events from associated sites.
- Permissions and Security:
- Sites associated with a hub site do not inherit permissions from the hub site by default.
- Hub owners can enable hub site permissions sync to ensure visitors have appropriate access to associated sites.
